Australian Publishing Glossary: a searchable guide for writers and self-publishers

I've compiled this extensive free glossary of Australian and international publishing terms. It is searchable and contains more than 200 terms relating to editing, proofreading, formatting, typography, book production and distribution.


To search, go to the Search tab and type a word or partial term into the yellow box and press Enter.


You can also browse the complete list on the Glossary tab or use the Category filter to narrow the results.


  1. Click the Glossary tab.

  2. Click the filter arrow beside Category.

  3. Untick Select All.

  4. Tick the category you want, such as Editing and proofreading.

  5. Click OK.


To restore everything, reopen the Category filter and choose Select All.
